Highrise Tower Posted September 23, 2023 Share Posted September 23, 2023 I never knew about this! The original Autry House. Very cool history here. These two Army mess shacks were moved from Camp Logan to just across Main St. from Rice's main entrance in 1919 by Rev. Harris Masterson, Jr., to serve as a community house for Rice students. Later, Mrs. Allie Kinsloe Autry gave funds in memory of her husband James Lockhart Autry, to build Autry House on the same site, which opened in 1921. 1920. Business advertisement from the publication The Rice Thresher dated November 19, 1920. The Community House Always at your service Come and enjoy a sociable hour. All kinds of eats and refreshments.
